It's beginning to look a little bit like Christmas

It's way too cold to play outside, so we've spent the last few days putting up the Christmas decorations. The canning jars have gone from holding sand & shells, to storing mini Christmas ornaments. One jar is still full of sand, to hold-up our Wyoming Christmas tree - Tumbleweed!
Since this will be our only tree this year, I hung only the best onrnaments on it. There is an "evergreen" garland draped on the shelf & intertwined with a string of lights.

Halloween decorating Farm Belles style


Back to school & all is well. So, I've decided it's time to let go of summer & start decorating for fall. Since we are currently renting, this limits my decorating creativity quite a bit. But, I think I found a solution. I've been using my entertainment center & piano as display shelves. Of course I like to "use what I've got" in decorating, because it is thrifty and EASY. So, I use canning jars a LOT. For my Halloween "display" I filled the canning jars with sand (got plenty of that in Wyoming) and stuck in some tumbleweed to give the scene some height. Then, I set out some ghosts, bugs & an autumn colored garland. I draped "cobwebs" over the whole thing and stuck in even more bugs.
It turned out even better than I imagined! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
